The women need to do the same thing the men need to do. Kick A, take names, destroy the conference, then go deep into the tournament, if you get a lousy seed, prove em wrong. Prior to 1998, had anybody heard of Boise St football or Gonzaga basketball? I was horrifically embarrased when we got clobbered by Boise in the early 2000's. Then in 2006, they were 13-0 and beat OU in the Orange Bowl.

If the basketball teams beat every home opponent by 40 (and do the above) even if the home opponents are the West Vermont technical Institute-burlington branch and similar, it won't matter.
